Why did I decide to write "Segredos dos Casinos"?
It all started
while I was working at Solverde and I saw how people blindingly placed
their bets on games that they knew nothing about. These people threw
down hundreds and thousands of Euros (at the time is was escudos) onto
the tables and into the machines. Of course there were the few that did
know and no doubt there are professional gamblers out there that do
know all the tricks. But I came to realize that the majority of players
have no idea whatsoever.
So I thought, "enough is enough." People should know what they are
betting on and what their odds are of winning. Like I say in the book,
we are lured there by the glamour, the lights, the showgirls, wining
and dining, and so forth that we forget about the money we are giving
away. Yes, giving it away. Why not give it to charity than give it to
already multi-millionaires? Ok, it creates jobs, stimulates the local
economy, but each person should know, the odds are against you no
matter what.
This same principle on casino gambling also lead
me to the same conclusion on Totoloto and Euromillion bets. Same
principle, but here people are a little more conscious that the odds
are winning are slim to none, whereas in the casinos, we believe that
we will win. So I threw in a chapter on the odds and probabilities for
totoloto, with a few insights on what to avoid and a few ways of
increasing your odds, like joining a syndication.
Finally, one
of the last reasons I decided to write the book, was because right now
there is a big frenzy in the online gambling community. It is big
business and growing stronger and stronger by the day. Hence, more and
more amateur gamblers are betting online. Guidance is needed here even
more so than in a traditional casino. Where to go, how to get, getting
bonuses, and so on, are just a few of the ideas presented here.
The
book has some shortcomings like any piece of work. To cover all the
games, with all the variations would make the book too long, boring and
expensive, for both the reader and me. So I limited it to 180 pages.
The reader can look for a Part II of the book soon, where more inside
information will be provided on the areas not covered.
I look
forward to hearing your comments on the book and feel free to email me
if you wish.
Oh, and happy gambling. |
